"Kung-Fu is Chinese martial arts. "Yes, Kung Fu is Chinese martial arts. But what exactly is Kung Fu? Kung Fu is not just “cool” fighting like they do in the movies with Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Kung Fu to me is a way of defending yourself. I searched up what Kung Fu is and this is what I found: Kung means energy and Fu means time.
“ n. Any of various Chinese martial arts, especially those forms in which sharp blows and kicks are applied to pressure points on the body of an opponent.”People learn Kung Fu for many various reasons. One, for self-defense if someone is trying to attack you, harm you, or maybe kill you. Kung Fu can be used as a form of fighting off an attacker. Second, sometimes people use it for hunting. Hunting was very important back then in China, because there were a lot of poor people who had to find food for themselves. Kung Fu was used to hunt animals. People used weapons and wielded their weapons using Kung Fu to hunt. Finally, Kung Fu was used for the military. Kung Fu was considered very important to train soldiers.
The history of Kung Fu dates all the way back to four thousand years ago. Under the rule of Emperor Huang Ti of China the first forms of Kung Fu started to form. This first form was known as Chiou Ti, which later evolved to Go-Ti. Go-Ti was mainly about wrestling and defending, so it was not completely Kung Fu yet. During that time, Confucius favored this form of martial arts. He said that education was important, respecting your teacher was critical, kindness was the most important key to one's life, but defending one's country was necessary. To Confucius martial arts was used to gain peace for your mind and body so you can be a better person. Soon, Confucius and Taoism mixed with Chiou Ti and Go-Ti started what is known as Kung Fu.
